The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

First topic message reminder :

Welcome to the Virtual Rugby Pub - a place where you can come in for a sly beverage and discuss whatever's on your mind, or just eavesdrop on the regulars if you fancy a break from all the rugby chat.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing pictures of Rhys Priestland, Cian Healy, or the special one of Charlize Theron and Gibbo above the bar!


So pull up a chair....what'll it be?



Old Pub: https://www.606v2.com/t18511p1000-the-dew-drop-inn-virtual-rugby-pub#704500

kicks off at three dreamer.

diolch Pete, good luck to LI today, but good luck to Wasps too. Hope it's a good match for you and Hound.

ooo just seen the latest pro12 score

Treviso 9 - 17 Leinster, McFadden is doing the kicking for them today.

Cheers dreamer.

It's a shame Hound couldn't make it down, he's good company at games.

That he most definitely is

12 - 17 to Leinster now.


And ot a bad start to the baabaa's match. Australia 3-0 up already but it's been a fairly entertaining first 10 mins.

Fairly disappointing Baa Baas game so far. Good try by Ioane though.

The gents at the pub are being refurbed and there's one of those blue portaloos outside. It is known as The Turdis

that did just make me giggle a bit Hound.

Treviso 20- 23 Leinster latest score, about 10 mins left I reckon

6-3 to Gloucester at HT against the Tigers.

My stream has gone funny for the Baabaa's match so have given up, it hadn't really got flowing properly anyway after a promising start.

I'm ere 2 pints in

http://www.worldalternativegames.co.uk/

Turner has just gone over in the corner... 18-3. Right on HT.

Will the Baa-baas make the traditional comeback in the 2nd half?

Bog Snorkelling!!


Hope you enjoy yourself up there and there's lots of nice on the go Glas.

18-3 to Oz at h/t dreamer and well deserved. 3 tries for Oz, and a bizarre end to the half. Oz score in the corner and O'Connor lines up the conversion. Stringer spots JOC move towards the ball and he sprints out and picks the ball off the tee. Poite allows the play

Half time.

Exiles 9 Pests 6

Not a great spectacle, errors from both sides and neither generating enough quick ball to be really threatening. Daly and Wade look elusive for Wasps but haven't seen enough ball. Nearest to scoring a try was Hodgson for us from a quick tap penalty but he was stopped about a yard short.

Homer has missed a kickable one and 9-6 is about a fair reflection of the half.

ALLEZ WASPS!!!

I thought this one would be a better game Oz.

18-12 down

C'mon boys!

Evening.

In the Neuadd Arms. Real ale is great. The male female ratio is pants and the tidy female gompers ratio is worse. Where's my pint. Put a picture up on facebook now.

Evening Thomond.

Well, the Baa Baas was boys against old men and it showed.

Saints are destroying Sarries and I'm heading homeward.

Hic!

Enjoy your beer Glas, Sounds like there's not much else.

Evening Pub.

Up the Ospreys!

Up the Ospreys!

Thanks Hoind

The Ospreys are pants

My favourite so far is Ding Dong. Wet gundig is pants.

The tidy unattached female to tidy attached female ratio is horrendous.

Of wekk

Wow,reading back,but there wasn't'
and the same here

a

Congrats on the win Ozzy, but I'm taking the Welsh view. We outscored you on tries





Not a great day. Ealing lost at Cov too . Mind you, if you told me three seasons ago that Ealing would be playing Cov in a league game, and we'd be top of that league at the time, I would thought you were insane

Plus that morning at work today has left me a little draiined. Feic all to do with the beer drunk this afternoon you understand

That was a bit gnomic, Chef - care to explain?

Enjoyed that Saints v Saracens match. Foden really made a difference. Wilson never seems to have a bad game

Evening team. Blydi knackered but a very enjoyable couple of days. Unfortunately both Gibbo and I lack stamina.

Ulster were pants last night. Well done Asbo and Glasgow.

Glas - is the missus away?




Howya puma

Some snow up in Scotland according to the weather forecast this morning.

Hound for you. Shame about the results.

O's winning so far in a howling Galway gale 6 - 17.

Sure, it's only a game Cari. I get over games pretty quickly win or lose, and good luck to your Os. It's windy here, so I can only guess what it's like in Galway.

Better news though...the first Ecclefechan Tarts of the festive season have been purchased. Love 'em

I've never had an Ecclefechan Tart Harrow. Sounds interesting...and expensive...

O's won 6 - 17. Duncan Jones was MOTM - Prop would've loved to see his run a la Gethin Jenkins

Munster on now BBC Alba for those interested.

To be fair, you always looked more likely to score a try than we did. Strange old finish to the game. 21-12 with just over 3 mins to go you broke left to right and had a 3 on 1, Haughton carrying with I think Varndell and Wade outside him. Homer did fantastically to not allow Haughton to straighten, and also didn't commit to early and bought time for our scramble defence to get across. Wasps then went back to the left and had us pinned on our line in the corner and went for a few pick and goes which we defended well before they went back right and had men over and scored in the corner, with 30 seconds left on the clock to make it 21-17. Robinson went back to the 22 to kick as the clock was running down and asked the ref if he scored would the be time to kick off again and the ref said no, so Robinson declined the conversion with the clock on 6 seconds to go.

We then waited for the clock to run down and booted the kick off into the stand. Wasps were not happy and complained to the ref, but my understanding is that as it would be a scrum offence that's it game over. Perhaps one of the refs in th pub could clarify.

Big win for us with so many of our more creative players missing. It wasn't pretty, butI will definitely take the 4 points.

evening guys

evening all,

Just finished watching Merlin, heartbreaking episode but brilliant. Lancelot

Saw a bit of the O's match but confess I turned over to strictly. Can't believe what the weather was like out there! Good win for the O's out there

Ok Ozzy - cheers for that. My LI mates tutned up a while back and said "Ye feicers stole a bonus point at the end"


Nice win Cari :applause: Can the Os make an impact in Europe this year? This year's squad look up for it.

ETs are £2.50 for 4 in my local supermarket, but 8 for £4.50. No brainer.

Google them - nicer than boring mince pies.

Great minds Hound, I bought some ecclefechan tarts at the supermarket yesterday. Same no brainer deal

I've just given a box to an 83 yo stalwart of the pub. Bless him.

Looky no touchy see

Christmas, cricket or

Bit harsh Hound. Was he winding you up or what? Still, he must have deserved it.

Nice one man.

Im Ma-sitting this eve. Nice and relaxing.

Good wins for LI, O's and Munster tonight.

Oh... and Leinster. Hope we move McFadden alongside O Malley next week v Blues. Give Dorce a rest loike.

And thanks for the 2 lovely days Rav dahling. If only Prop had seen the 2 of us last night snoozing in our chairs... Just as well eh?

And what are Eccle Feicin tarts when they are about?

Evening again.

Hope yer Ma is well Gibbo. Give her my regards.
Was just thinking about Prop myself. Doing a wee bit of snoozing again tonight. Saw wee bits of Munster. Good win for them.

down the road I wall and there lies Mary
Lips of golf and hair of cherries
It's goose to touch the green green grass of home

Alright Glas?

Gibbo,

Spoiler:

Ickle feicin tarts

Don't take this the wrong way Ecclefechan Tart lovers, but it looks like a pie someone's dropped on the floor and scraped back together...

...and what's that advert there about Walker being Scotland's finest, Asbo swears he's a shoite player for Scotland

They look feicin scrumptious.

Your special concoction has cleared me up 100% in under 24 hours, Swanny.
Thanks once again.

Not as scrumptious as Welsh Cakes

They look like cow pats? What are they - sweet dough, sultanas and sugar sprinkled on top? I prefer the Tart

Evening all!! Bad results for most of my teams bar City who beat Southampton!!
So much for my 20minutes...ended up being a blood sub on 5mins at lh and then going on from 20mins at hooker after ours got injured!! Was only in the last 10 mins that the ankle/foot started hurting so i'm happy

My pleasure LB, glad you're feeling better

Welsh cakes are mighty fine Cari. Might have to make some soon, not made any for yonks!

Can't beat Welsh cakes. Pice'r Maen, mmmmmmmm.

Gartre nawr in the booosum of my family.

I like real ale, I like going on tris, but I like coming home better.

Over and our nos da

Ecclefechan is Welsh for small church.

Linebreaker! They do not look like cowpats!

My (English) friend once described them as flat scones. They're baked on a stone rather than put in the oven, and can sometimes taste very sweet or more of a cinnamon kind of taste. They went down well in Ireland when i took some over....

All right Prop. Think you might appreciate this story:
